This is the first and probably only card I'll make with a Santa. Santa and I don't see eye to eye. There's only 1 Christmas that Santa brought anything on my wish list. Maybe he doesn't like Fruitcake!! How did he know that's what I would be called down the road? Anyway, enjoy, as, of course, this card turned into a nightmare to get right and it's Santa's way of getting back at me, The Fruitcake!
Used a retired SU set called Holiday Hello (2000) and Button Bear (1995) as well as SU Merriment. Also used the SU DSP Jolly Holiday.
Used flower soft on Santa's beard, cap and jacket bottom trim. Sparkled up the framing around him with 2-way glue and dazzling diamonds. Used crystal efects for his belt and the bows on the presents. I used my beloved reindeer which I'm running out of. Wish I remember where I got it.
Popped up the front present, santa framing and cherry cobbler framing behind the Santa frame. Embossed the sentiment.
Well, if Santa brings back my DH from deployment with a cowboy hat, then I'll know he granted me wish FINALLY!!!
Thanks for taking a look and have a great weekend!
This qualifies for the StampinB Challenge to make a holiday card!! That's for you Benzi!

This is ADORABLE, Fruitflake--I mean, Fruitcake!!! Great colors and papers and lacey square nestie is terrific. Love the fluffy stuff on Santa, too!! Maybe you should add a cowboy hat to this card to remind Santa of what you really want . . .

You've been busy while I've been working my fingers to the bone for the craft fair. LOVE that polka dotted DP - wonder why LOL! Lacy squares are a close second to SD and the sparkly Santa is adorable. Wonderfully done
